Havent you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the effect is greater, the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr Andrea Michelle, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的).” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.1、The main subject talked about in this passage is _.Ascience on learning a second languageBmans ability of learning a second languageClanguage can help brain powerDlanguage learning and maths study2、In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to _.Asay language is also a kind of physical laborBprove that one needs more practice when he (she) is learning a languageCto show the importance of using the language when you learn the languageDmake people believe language learning helps grey matter work well3、The underlined word “bilingual” probably means _.Aa researcher on language learningBa person who is good at learning foreign languagesCa person who can speak two languagesDan active language learner22（8分）Parents complain that children outgrow their clothes so fast that it costs a fortune（12，000 on average per year），going through seven different sizes in the space of their first two yearsThere could now be a solution：a new hightech fabric（织物）that expands as the wearer growsRyan Yasin，who is studying for a masters degree at the London Royal College of Art，came up with the idea after purchasing clothes for his newborn nephew，only to find the baby had outgrown them by the time they arrivedIn addition to the expense Yasin was also concerned about the environmental influenceThe process of making and distributing just l kilogram，or 22 pounds，of new fabric results in an average of 23 kg，or 50 pounds of greenhouse gasesTo make matters worse，the“fast fashion”trend worldwide has caused garment production to double since 2000，with more than half of the clothing ending up in landfills annually!To find a solution，Yasin used his previous experience designing satellites to invent a way to fold synthetic（合成的）material such that it stretches in all directionsThe first design，a pair of tiny pants，not only fit his baby nephew，but also his 2year-old niece! After spending a lot of time perfecting the process and testing the design，Yasin is now awaiting a patent for his design and seeking investors（投资者）to bring the clothing to marketFor his new line of Petit Pli，the designer plans to produce outerwear that is both waterproof（防水的）and windproofThe clothing will be machine washable and fold small enough to fit in a jacket or pant pocketYasin plans to establish a takeback system so that wornout Petit Pli clothing can be recycled into new fabricThe designer does not expect parents to dress their children only in his expandable clothing，particularly since the current designs use synthetic materialsBut he plans to soon produce the wear in “a wider variety of garments” and hopes that Petit Pli will be able to have an“influence on over-consumption”We surely hope he succeeds!1、What inspired Yasins invention?AHis great expense on clothes BHis unhappy experienceCHis nephews piled-up clothes DHis desire for a masters degree2、Which of the following statements about Yasins design is true?AIt has been tested successful BIt has come on the marketCIt has got a patent DIt has attracted a lot of investors3、What will be one advantage of the new outerwear?AIt comes in various styles BIt needs no washingCIt can never be worn out DIt is spacesaving4、Why does Yasin suggest a limited use of the expandable clothing?AIts cost is too high BIt lacks stylish designsCIts materials are not natural DIt is not easily recycled23（8分）Food production does great harm to our environment.There are many procedures involved in the manufacture of food that result in greenhouse gases and other pollutants.Some procedures require the consumption of large amounts of fossil fuels,such as the transportation and storage of food products.Other factors that cause great damage to our environment include the overuse of fresh water.The production of beef is more damaging to the environment than that of any other food we consume,Raising large numbers of cattle requires the production of large amounts of food for the animals.Its estimated that producing one pound of beef requires seven pounds of feed.Land use is also a problem.If the cattle are free-range cattle,large areas of land are required for them to live on.This has led to disastrous forest cutting and the loss of rare plants and animal species,particularly in tropical rain forests in Central and South America.Another problem specific to beef production is methane emissions (甲烷排放).Although many people are aware of the damaging effects of carbon dioxide,they dont realize methanes global warming potential is 25 times worse,making it a more dire problem.Unfortunately,beef consumption is growing rapidly.This is the result of simple supply and demand factors.Specifically,there are two main causes of demand that are encouraging the production of more supply.First,the increase in the world population means there are more people to consume meat.The second factor is socioeconomic advancement.As citizens in developing nations become financially stable,they can afford to buy more meat.Therefore,one way to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions is for people around the world to significantly cut down on the amount of beef they eat.1、Which of the following is TRUE?ARaising free-range cattle is eco-friendly.BPeople cut down trees for animal habitats.CProducing beef can damage the environment.DCarbon dioxide causes far more harm than methane.2、The underlined word “dire” in Para.4 means .Aurgent BcommonCtypical Davoidable3、Beef production is growing rapidly because .Amore people are in demand of beefBdeveloping countries raise more cattleCmore land is available to raise cattleDthe cost of raising cattle is relatively low4、The author writes this article to .Adescribe the booming of the beef productionBemphasize the advantages of beef productionCcondemn the deforestation of the rain forestDargue for a decrease in beef consumption24（8分）Welcome to The Metropolitan Museum of ArtThe Met, which is short for The Metropolitan Museum of Art, presents over 5,000 years of art from around the world for everyone to experience and enjoy.
